The WHOLE purpose of the delay was to censor the names. What should be newsworthy is the fact that they're going to censor the names. CNN barley mentioned that they were going censored at least.

To deny this fact is absurd. It's known that they are being censored and it was a very expensive operation.

Keep eating what the US media tells you or start thinking for yourself.

I'm going off the source in the OP, which isn't American, and which flatly contradicts what you're saying. Since you haven't provided anything supporting what you're saying, there's not a lot I can do. I'm on an iPhone.

In the meantime, I consider Amnesty International a trustworthy and well-intentioned organization. Certainly more so than a cabal of entitled little libertarian douchebags. If that makes me a sheeple or whatever I'm good widdit.

I'm on my iTouch and the soure doesn't contradict what I sad. Want me to show you the CNN article as well as a chatlog I had with an offical WikiLeaks Staff member?

And if they miss ONE NAME, it could get someone killed. ONE NAME out of 15 THOUSAND documents.

I would guess if they missed a name (I also guess they would have to miss an entire record not to see it) while trying to censor it then someone reading it would also miss it. Unless of course someone was looking for someone and they knew the rough details of when they were mentioned.

The site is about leaking uncensored documents, did you guys really think they would go against their values?

If they do/did, they are just undermining their integrity and going against the point of the site.
If they don't, they're a bunch of senseless assholes.

Either way they lose.

I think (and hope) they take what appears to be the common sense route, getting the information into the public domain with censored names. Removing names and locations of peoples houses etc wouldn't effect the overall information, the truth of what's really happening would be out there and that seems to be what they want.

They are willing to fight the world's meanest military with little more than cold war era hardware and some unforgiving terrain. They are nothing if not tenacious.

It's been almost have a month when the first batch was released. Not a death threat nor death has been caused. I'm pretty sure missing one name would yeild the same results. The few names that were leaked are so damn insignificant and hard to find. The Pentagon should take part of the blame as well if anything occurs due to the constant bullshit about it making it seem like an informant name leak only thus publicizing the very few names already avalablie.

A coalition of human rights groups has called on Wikileaks to remove details of civilian Afghans who were named when the website released more than 77,000 classified US Army documents on the war in Afghanistan.

"There was no consideration about civilian lives," he said, adding that Afghan civilians seen to be collaborating with Nato forces are often assassinated by insurgents. "We said that in the future the names should be redacted and the ones that are already there need to be taken down. Even though it's late, it is still worth doing."

The emails, which were also sent on behalf of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, the Open Society Institute and International Crisis Group, are the first clear indication that some human rights activists are at odds with the way the Afghan logs were published.

Anyway Lozenge and his cronies are hypocritical douchebags gambling with the lives of "insignificant" brown people so that they can play petty power games with Washington. The fact that they've already willfully released names of collaborators shows that they either don't know or don't care what they're doing. They're not a force of good--Amnesty International is. Wikileaks is essentially the Pirate Bay of international politics. Yeah, they're entertaining a lot of the time, but they're motivated by their sense of Western entitlement, not by a desire to improve the situation in Afghanistan. All they want to do is stick it to The Man.

Wikileaks owner needs a slap to the face. If you can't proofread and remove ALL names, then don't publish at all.

Edited:

Wikileaks owner is doing a crime by publishing names. Because of that fucking idiot people who actually help either died or are endangered.

Wikileaks is not the one commiting major crimes here the government is.
They are still going to kill civilians whether it's delibrate or accidental until they stop the war. They are bringing this all on themselfs.

Have you even read the leaks? Go read a piece of it right now, I bet you won't be able to understand it. And there's no "Informant" section. Dome few documents just happened to have some names.

What's your point? I know they didn't leak a document called "People the Taliban would Totally Kill if They Found Out Their Names." But that doesn't matter. If AI had serious concerns, there's a reason for it.

Are they saying they (Wikileaks) are not giving a formal statement on it, or are they saying the human rights groups haven't put out a formal statement with regards to this? (IE Suggesting its being made up by the media)

Scouring a post and banning people for the slightest infringement (Can you even call that an infringement?) of the rules to cut out a person trying to prove you wrong is a great way to win an argument.

He ALWAYS does that. He has a bad habit of banning people whom he disagrees with.

I remember I got banned for trolling a while back for asking for a source for some absolute bullshit claim he made.

Happens in any war. I don't think I need to be made aware of it. The alternative is to tuck tail and run then wait for them to fly another plane into a skyscraper.

Alright boyo, lets fucking paint this:

First of all, you know but others DON'T or refuse to. Not you, but OTHERS NEED to fucking be made aware.

NOW, lets say for example you Americans "Tuck tail" and leave

guess what, three little problems with that comment:
A: The organisation that did that has been dissolved. The people in charge in hiding. What's left if an insurgency that has one goal: remove the US from their country. If they did a fucking repeat 9/11, then guess what? We're back to fucking square one. The three entities you're fighting, Iraq, The Taliban and Bin Laden, won't do such a thing on American soil.
B: Tuck tail? Who gives an utter fuck about your stupid fucking "honour". Americans got their asses handed to them on several occasions, so who fucking cares if you do now.
C: In the last 9 years, America has spent more money on defence, homeland security, TSA, the war, hunting people who "pose threats" to national security, upgrading police for Terrorist attack scenarios, establishing counter-terrorism groups, pumping money into other countries for similar things and training police in occupied countries to do work of Americans, then every single country in the world combined in history

and you mean to fucking tell me you're scared a bunch of pissed off farmers are going to do a repeat 9/11?
